Vo vantages of the public library,
Vmnty .Judse T. .Jv Cleeton. In the
irdlaatory'address, jaM It was the be
dnnlna: of the extension work to be
'undertaken by the Library Association
IB Portland and that Ihi extension
wooll be cootlnurd until 'the ad-,-aQtaces
of the public library will be
within the reach of every rltlsen how

wheW ieitykaut' not tor the West Fide

'b'sw sectlon.tr terma oua-ht to dlsap

:-arry about 11.000 volumes, and the
hulldlns; will be made an educational
center for the people.
The bulldlns; practically covers the
tuarter block, and Is a one-story
'structure with full basement. It was
ih-slirn"d by Architects Doyle. Patter
'nbn P'ach. and built by the Advance
t'onstrnetton Company. In drawlns;
plans fnr tbe bulldlns; the architects
were, assisted by sus;s;eetlons from
Miss Mary F. Jm. city librarian, and
Mlsa Lao B. Bailey, who has charge of

Ideal for the purpose for which It Is
Intended. .. .. '
The anaia entrance is from East
Alder - street ' throush double doors
leadtnr directly to the office counter In
the renter of the main room, where ap
plications for books are received by
the assistants. The departments are In
' Immediate touch from the center
counter.
Child's Department lillmtlig
On the west side la the children's
department, which occupies one-third
of the floor, where books appropriate
for the use of children are placed.
Here the ' furniture Is adapted to
children of all aares, the lower tables
and chairs being for the' use of the
smaller children. For the present the
children's department Is looked after
by an assistant, but later It la Intended
to have a children's librarian, who will
devote her entire time to that work
It Is thought that the services of the
children's librarian will soon be re
quired.
One of the features of the children's
department is the "home pictorial 11
brary," placed by itself on separata
shelves. Here are gathered child's
Illustrated books. These books, how
ever, are not for circulation and are
not marked as are the others, but are
to show parents the kind of books to
purchase for their children. Usually
before holidays parents are Invited to
Inspect these books so they will be
able to make Intelligent selections. In
vltatlons will be Issued to parents be
fore Christmas to visit and Inspect
these books. To not a few the child
ren's department Is considered the
most interesting feature of the
branch.
Reference Bowks Complete.
At the east side of the receiving
counter Is the general reading and
reference department. In It will be
found reference books covering prac
tically every subject the student may
want to Investigate, The books have
been selected with a view to covering
subjects or general Interest to students.
It Is provided with suitable
furnishings. Students who cannot find
what they want In the reference books
may secure books not kept upon ap
plication.
Adjoining the counter Is the clreulat
Ing department In which books for
general circulation are placed In
shelves along tha walla at present.
Later, when the demand increases,
bookcases will be provided. The of
fice of the librarian opens Into this
department.
Connecting; .wtth the department Is
the private committee room for the
use of committees or clubs which may
desire to gather to Investigate or study
any subject.- Book shelves are provided
In this room. It Is not for the public.
but for the special use of committees
and lubs In the way mentioned. On
the whole, the main room is beautiful
and harmonious, lighted with toned
electiio lights. Several pictures have
been placed on the walla that are edu
cational as well as artistic In the
erection of the bulldlns a private room
was provided for the attendants, where
they can prepare their .luncheons in
private. -
Aadle1a la Base a rat.
In the bssement 1 located the au
ditorium, tha children's story room,
rooms of the Janitor and tha fuel and
ventilating room. Hera is" also tha
work-room, where books are repaired.
In this room Is a large colleatlon of
pictures covertna; a wide range of sub
jects, which are to be mounted for Il
lustration uses. -
The auditorium Is for the general
use of the public. Miss Bailey an
nounces that all organisations and
clubs are welcome to use this room
for lectures and other purposes of ben
efit to the publlo and which are not
for revenue. In short, the auditorium
ts to be auxiliary to the llBrary and
part of the plan to build up an educa
tional center.
According to present plana, tha first
and third Thursday the auditorium will
be occupied at night by the East Side
Business Men's Club. The night of
the first Monday of the month the hall
will be oocupled by the United Im
provement Clubs' Association. On
Wednesday nights It will be occupied
by the lectures In the Reed College ex
tension course,, which began Wednes
day by the lecture of W. T. Foster,
president of the college. Several nights
are open to other clubs which may
want to use the hall. Applications for
the use of the auditorium should be
made to the librarian. A stereoptlcon
lantern will be provided in the audi
torium. There is no charge for the
use of the hall.
Every Friday afternoon there will
be a story hour for children given by
Miss Bailey or one of the assistants.
Later, when a regular children's li
brarian is engaged, she will give her
tune to the story work.
More Assistants Keeded.
For the present Miss Bailey and two
assistants have charge. Beginning with
the first of the year, a school and ref
erence librarian will be engaged, who
will have charge of the reference de
partment. She will have charge of the
library of the Washington High School,
but after S P. M. she will come to the
branch and look after the reference
department. While the library is com
plete, arrangements are made lor a
dally delivery from the main library
building on the West Side at 1 I'. M.
Books not in the branch, which are
kept In the main building, can be had
through this dally delivery from the
main building. This dally delivery
brings all the facilities of tbe main
library within the Immediate reach .i-.d
command of the patrons of the branoh.
On Wednesday, when the -branch was
opened to the public, 687 books were
taken out. 516 children and 81 adults
vlstted the library, besides 2S0 who at
tended the lecture of President Fos
ter in tbe evening. When first estab
lished the Beet Portland branch was
used mainly by tbe children, but con
ditions have changed and the library ts
now used by more adults than chil
dren. Located near the Washington
High School, the library Is generously
patronised by students from that
school.
